One would imagine full upper and lower dentures to be Orthopedic devices and one would expect something that is advertised to "clean and sanitize" to do both. I am left feeling unsure of whether or not it sanitizes because it doesn't really clean like a denture cleaner cleans and you cannot see whether the orthopedic device is actually sanitised with the naked eye.

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback. It uses the sonic vibrations to remove anything on the dentures. To clean, simply insert your dentures, retainer, mouth guard, or anything that fits the reservoir, and a gentle, 3 minute sonic massage will wash away the solids, while 20 minutes under the UV lamp will eliminate 99.9% of all germs. When the process is finished the spa will turn itself off, leaving whatever item you’ve placed in its care ready for use.

I use a mouthguard for bruxism and after years of it being stained by mouthwash, as that is what I would soak it in daily then scrub it with my toothbrush and toothpaste prior to using it at bedtime, this product cleaned even the mouthwash stains off after one use.

I use it to clean my night appliance I wear for snoring. It really cleans it so much better than the way I was cleaning it with a toothbrush. Mostly eliminates the smell that the retainer has had that washing just didn't get rid of.

It cleans my dentures well but the container is barely large enough to hold even one partial denture without part of it sticking up above the water line. If you have anything close to a full set this will not work for you.

The unit is too small my dentures wouldn't fit inside container. The container was not deep enough to hold more than one denture if it fits. Additionally, battery powered, should be electrical plug in powered.

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

I use this device daily to clean and sanitize my partials. The process is far easier and more effective than cleaning by hand or by soaking in chemicals, yet since it uses only plain tap water it is kinder to the partial materials. The result: partials that feel much cleaner in my mouth and that I wear with greater confidence. I have no complaints at all.
